Re: 2012 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

I am down to take Cordy Glenn. I wanted Fleener but I worry less about weapons and more about the inability to throw from your back. A good QB makes weapons more so than the other way around. Take Cordy and plug him in at RT from day one.

I change my mind... if we can't get Fleener I want us to get janoris jenkins... we need a huge talent upgrade at corner and I just realized he's actually a top 10 talent in this draft... on the board cuz character issues.. ill take my chances to have a big time corner.

That's a very true and good statement. Peyton made practice squad goons look like reputable receiving options all the time. Weapons are easier to immediately "see" an impact with. You don't usually notice the D-Line and O-Line unless they are painfully bad so it's a less sexy option. I guess when it comes down to it, I won't be disappointed in either direction the Colts decide to go.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Cordy Glenn should be the pick if the Rams don't get him. Not often you'll get a chance to get a talent on the O line, like him, in the 2nd round. If they get him, the offensive line is set for the future. That would be huge for Luck.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

At first, I liked the idea of getting Fleener, but the more I considered, the Colts have a lot bigger needs than tight end. Hell, we could draft the other Stanford tight end next year. #34 is so important, that I think we need to get someone in a key position in the trenches, o-line or d-line. Would still like to see us grab a WR in the 3rd though.

My current prediction however is that we'll trade down to the mid-2nd and pick up an extra 3rd rounder or 4th and 5th or something. A lot of holes to fill.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

No way you trade from 34. There are atleast 4 potential pro bowlers just sitting there.

I'm with you on the "at least" part...I'd argue that there are like a dozen guys left that could easily make a pro bowl...which is why I'd consider trading down. If there's a guy Grigson/Pagano's in love with, by all means take him. But if you can get still get a quality player ten picks later, why not grab some extra picks in the process?

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

I watched QB Camp when Luck was on it and i took it that he likes to play with a FB.. A FB who goes out is a lot like a TE.. It's a safety blanket. Not sure if the Colts will start using FB's more or not, but it sure seems like they will, as they started to do so more towards the end of the year. (Even tho that wasn't Pagano)

I'm starting to ease myself into a better position on who we take.. Last night I wanted Fleener and only Fleener.. Right now I would be pretty happy with any of about 5 picks.. CB, LB/DT, WR, TE, OL

He's a straight-line, build-up player. All these reports about him being an athlete and this and that, they're assuming that because he ran fast. He's really just a red-zone, jump-ball player."

Any scout that just considers Fleener a jump ball TD player is an idiot IMO. Gessh one scout compared him to Todd Heap of all people.

He may be a bad blocker but you can coach guys up still. ITs not like he is a finished product at 22.
